VCPF-70-000013 - Performance Charts must have mappings set for Java servlet pages.
Information
Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.By not specifying which files can and cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc.
Because Tomcat is a Java-based web server, the main file extension used is *.jsp. This check ensures the *.jsp and *.jspx file types have been properly mapped to servlets.
Solution
Navigate to and open:/usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/web.xml
Inside the <web-app> parent node, add the following:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Restart the service with the following command:
# vmon-cli --restart perfcharts
